Yeah I tried limiting the map F-10 views, IE setting it to map only or my A/C. It only limits what an actual aircraft slot player can see on the F-10 map. The spectator still see's everything. I also tried the external view setting, that didnt achieve the result either. It stops another player from looking at the map. Clicking on another players aircraft and hitting F2 for an external view. Thanks for the replies, I know Hoggit has a timeout and Enigma and Growling found a way to simply block the option to. NOT select any aircraft>briefing>fly F-10> hey lads that guy in the helo we cant find, he's over there kinda thing. I have also looked though the SLMod and the Slot Blocker scripts, however I am not the best at editing those files.

Hi Guys, I am getting some problems with players going straight to briefing>fly>F-10 then using it as an Awacs over a Discord comms channel or similar. Its becoming a pain and rather than go straight to kicking/banning them I would rather just remove the option. Is there a .LUA file or script I can use. I would like to either prevent users from going into the spectators F-10 view. Or use a script that has a timeout function Cheers.

Hi Guys, I have my watercooled 3090 founders edition for sale on eBay. NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Founders Edition fitted with Corsair XG7 water block 812674024585 | eBay Cheers.

Thank you mate most of this is already done. It has also been reported to the UK action fraud department, they were very helpful. The guy I was sharing my mission files with for the DCS server left port 3389 open on my router. It only had access to my server machine so he could restart it if there was a crash. I did not know this could be a security problem. I should have looked into it further, been more responsible about protecting my own machine. This is a mistake I wont forget. The router and its firewall have been reset to defaults, I have the server back up and running. I'm not allowing anyone to have access through my routers firewall anytime soon. Only the ports for the DCS server to run are open. Back ups etc have been made. Thank you for the replies and the messages. As I said up above this forum is a gold mine of useful and helpful people.

No you didn't mate, Intel are still ahead regarding synthetic benchmark clock speeds. Its just in DCS as a whole system. Its pretty even

Hi Lange, I thought the same mate, however this left me with a bit of paranoia to be honest. I feel like a plonker now lol!! For anyone reading this I am not an expert on networking security. I was offered advise that sounded legit and I went with it. Don't do that. This forum is a goldmine, you can ask a group. If you get the same answer from different people at the same time. That will probably be legit. Thank you to everyone who replied, my server is back up and ok. With the security flaw fixed.

Thanks Bitmaster, I am not going to pretend to understand all of that. Networking and security has always been something I struggle to fully understand. I must fix this very soon. I wont be allowing any RDP access to my machine anymore. I reset all permissions on my router too. I only have opened what is needed for DCS server and SRS. There was nothing on the machine except the actual DCS server SRS server and Windows 10. So it was easily just reset. A friend donated a new SSD with Windows pre-installed so any infected drive is not in the machine anymore. Bitmaster, this might be a stupid question but they can only infect any USB drives that were physically plugged in at the time right?? I backup to a USB stick and then unplug it and leave it in a cupboard, same with a USB dock for mech drives. I backup and remove so if anything like this happens. I can load those files to a new SSD. One final thing, what does 3389/tcp do? Thanks again for the replies.

Mars, and Danger thank you for your replies. Straight forward RDP I'm afraid. I trusted it. I have a couple of .miz files from way back. I will update those to my latest standards and go from there. You might think it odd I still keep a paper book notepad, lol! A whole year at a time anything important goes in it. Thanks for your advise. Merry Xmas and take it easy.

Yep, sorry Lange is right with the correct bios version same can be done for the 5800x3d I was trying to say that for DCS and performance. You cant put a bus ticket between the two. It's about as neck and neck as it gets.

A Windows RDP connection with a member from my Discord channel. I have the same connection with them. To upload .miz files. That connection won't be used anytime soon! One mission file ran on mine, UK. One mission file ran on his, USA. Im the sole mission builder. He works in networking I trusted his advise. I thought what we were sharing was secure. He helped setup my SRS recently. So far my gaming machine which shares the same physical router seems unaffected. That machine has no RDP setup at all. The purpose of this post was to prevent anyone else getting their servers attacked in this way. I would rather know what mistake I made and fix it. Cheers.

Hi Tiger, Thanks for your reply, really appreciate it. Luckily I treat the server machine as if it was a burner machine. I also keep copies of everything important on a 4tb back I, back up once a week. I'm a bit old school with back ups. Nothing has been lost I can't fix with re-formatting, re-installing and time. It was a wake up call that could have been more costly. Take care mate, thanks again for taking the time to reply.

It was my own machine. I went through every security firewall I can think of. I'm not an expert but I'm no novice either. There is a secure remote access setup with another user in the USA. The blackmail email was a Wanheda @ dnmx.org and Wanheda @ cock.li It was not isolated to the OS it went through drive :C :E and a connected USB stick. Every single file was corrupted and the file name changed with an encrypted stamp. Dont know how else to put that. I do hope no-one else gets hit by something like this. I had a few guys looking forward to a WW2 session tomorrow. System was running latest Windows 10.

Hi Guys, I run a DCS dedicated server in the UK with SRS. It does not connect to anything else, it only runs a DCS and SRS server. It was hacked sometime today and a trojan virus hidden as VPC.exe did a crypto ransomware attack. Locked out my whole desktop and locked all my drives. Windows was on :C and anything for the servers was on :E. Nothing is downloaded to this machine, not even emails are checked. My first sign of a problem was higher than normal wattage being used on my plug in watt meter. Then I noticed 100% usage on the CPU and on board graphics. The CPU temp being overly high was also an obvious sign. Other signs were SRS cutting out at random for various users. Severe stuttering and lagging were also reported before the desktop and any access was locked out completely. The servers were the DCS Hooligans so to anyone using them I am sorry but it will be down for the near future. If your running a server take whatever precaution or checks you see necessary as this experience genuinely sucks. I hope this does not happen to anyone else and it is an isolated incident. Can any experts on here advise on the potential that this could have carried via remote access hidden in a .miz file?? I share mission files with a PC in the USA, only concerned for my mates computer. Cheers take it easy all.

Ive had access to a 5800x3d X570s with 3600mhz DDR4 and a 12900k with 5600Mhz DDR5 at the same time. Whether its in flat panel or VR, there is not much in it to be honest. DCS will be pushing your GPU before your CPU. Both setups were providing 75-95fps and above on max settings on 4k using a 3090. In the end I chose the 12900k as its faster for anything outside of DCS and its power consumption is controlled with an undervolt.

Hi Guys, I have a HP Reverb G2 for sale, it includes a V1 and V2 cable, unused hand controllers, unused HP face gasket, AMVR face gasket with vinyl pads. A recently new head unit fresh from HP but no headphones. This is due to a cock up by HP's fantastic customer service team. Everything I have is boxed as if it was new. Please read what happened. The headset started having connection issues with my X570S mobo in August, HP sent me a V2 cable. That lasted about a week so HP sent me another cable, when it arrived it still didn't work. So HP told me they would exchange the headset. I boxed up the headset, with headphones attached. HP sent me a replacement without headphones attached. Problem! Now the headset and both cables work just fine but I have no headphones. I complained to HP thinking they would find my old ones and send them back. They actually asked if I could prove I bought it and for how much. I could, so they refunded me for the entire amount and bought back the warranty. They would not replace my headphones! I was told I could dispose of the equipment as I saw fit. So now I have a working HP Reverb G2, tested with DCS yesterday 30.11.2022. It does not have a warranty, HP bought that back. Would anyone on here be interested in buying it from me. I can send though a courier 24 hour service. UPS would be most convenient for me. Thinking £250.00 ono

I would not be surprised that your HP Reverb might be a problem. I have come across x2 sets now that have connection problems, especially on AM4 X570. I know your on AM5 but the problems could be similar. I also came across something regarding V-Bios on the 4090 having compatibility problems with certain AM5 motherboards. I think it was a Jay2Cents video tbh, check some of his latest including AM5 or the 4090 if you have the time. I dont know if it was solved but a lack of maturity in the Bios was the culprit. Even though I have a system performing very well in DCS I must admit I find the same upgrade tempting. I will probably wait until 7000 series x3d chips become available.

I can also check out on the Mig-21. My 1990 mission looks authentic again.

My Korea Mig Alley is working just fine again. Thank you.

Buzzer1977, yeah I know my Mig Alley has been affected since 2.8. All the Korean set skins for such as the P-51 are default back to WW2. The Mig-21 on my 1990 based mission, i'm sure that was stuck back on the Slovakian livery back in 2.7. No matter what Soviet livery I set it to It always showed as Slovakian on the server. I'm glad this thread is up otherwise I would be trying to problem solve my dedicated server install and machine.

Thanks CaptHawk, yeah came across that thread too.

Ive got the same thing on my servers. Glad to know I am not the only one with the problem. None of the skins/liveries I set for the AI aircraft get shown in the server mission. It all goes to default.

Hi Guys, Ran into a problem I cant find a work around for. The DCS dedicated server software doesn't include the skins for the Mig-21. So the Mig-21 is showing up as the 1st SLovakia skin in the mission. Instead of the Soviet skins selected. How can I add the missing default skins to the dedicated server install?? I tried adding to the saved game folder and to the "root" coremods folder. Of the server install, (its on its own PC). No luck so far.
